Dear Janek, which is the source for the 5,20 m pole vault Mike Smith is listed with (no year, no location)? Decathlon fans has him with 5,10 m, 24.8.1994, Victoria. Link: http://www.decathlonfans.de/Athletes/michael_smith... And the IAAF has him with 5,10 m, 16.7.1995, Montreal and 5,10 m indoor, 14.3.1993, Toronto. Are you sure that he ever jumped over 5,20 m? Best wishes, Sven

The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
